  1. This alliance has crossed the line too many times and it's continued existence is an insult, plus that Skippy fellah is just utterly appalling. But seriously, onwards and upwards!!!
  2. [quote name='Kalasin' timestamp='1297809410' post='2634758'] I'm delighted to see this. [/quote] I'm delighted to see how delighted you are by this
  3. [quote name='Schattenmann' timestamp='1297788394' post='2634478'] I have very publically stated that, no, I do not go around thinking "hmmmm, who am I friends with" when I decide I would like to sign a treaty. All Justitian foreign policy is rooted in our values, not our flittering personal relationships, and it is because of that that I have never had to tell a friend "sorry, this friend asked for help before this friend, whoopsies! But we'll send some token money after you get your skulls caved in." Where's all that "friendship" today? Gone with your treaty. The childishness of the mentality that friend=military allegiance is mind-blowing and even with its reality so recently crammed down your throat (or up your butt sideways as the case may be) you use these childish terms of endearment in regards to matters of politics. It's no wonder you were left hamstrung and out in the cold like every other alliance that has signed a treaty with alliances based on chit-chat rather than focus on policy and politics. These treaties are like baby blankets, clung to for security and comfort; they are escape hatches. They make lazy statesmen and complacent militaries dependent upon the charity of friends-in-high-places and the competency of someone else's army for security. This "philosophy" of friend=treaty is a breach of the alliance-nation relationship which serves the egoes of goverments rather than the interests of members: What has Athens' security--Athens, which has no common goals to TIO--got to do with the security or growth of TIO nations? Nothing. What has TIO's security got to do with the same for Athenians? Nothing! Has one Athenian suffered for TIO's burning in this war? Not one. Would one member of TIO have gained anything if you kept this treaty through the end of Athens' war? No, not one member of TIO would benefit any bit. These treaties represent nothing but footsie and busy-work for alliance governments whose time would be better spent developing internal strength and philosophy. Yes, I [b]do[/b] reject this Viridian model survivalist mode of existence. And in doing so, Cult of Justitia--and any alliance which does the same--gains the most rare power on Digiterra and that is self-determination and true sovereignty. [/quote] No, quite honestly I believe that friendship and common goals are necessity for any strong long term relationship between two parties. Like I said, there WAS a point where the treaty made sense, sadly not so much anymore, which is why it's been canceled. TIO are very proud to call their allies friends, is that hard for you to comprehend Schatt? Can you not appreciate and respect other people's philosophies? Or do you just have to shout out stubbornly that they're, in your eyes, wrong. Self-determination and true sovereignty? That's only [u][b]slightly[/b][/u] archaic nowadays. Some people [b]do[/b] enjoy the satisfaction of knowing that they're helping/working with their friends. And especially given the political climate, I think that it's the right thing to do.
  4. [quote name='Schattenmann' timestamp='1297784022' post='2634434'] And that's why it made sense to cancel it, so why the piss and moans from Athens? A glance at their wiki clearly shows they have a desire to treaty half the planet, but it is times such as these that show where true allegiance lies, so [i]why not [/i]cancellations which reflect alliances' true foreign policies? I congratulate TIO for their come to Jesus self reflection. [/quote] I wouldn't go that far at all. They actually put a huge amount of effort into working with us to hash out our differences, the process was certainly not easy for either alliance. TIO don't ever sign treaties based purely on political sense, there is a little something called friendship that comes very largely into the discussion process, why sign treaties with alliances you don't like or can't work well with? Can you honestly say that you have never considered how much you like members in an alliance you're allied to? Or at least considered this before thinking about potential treaty partners? If so you are just as guilty as Athens, just more lonely.
  5. [quote name='Schattenmann' timestamp='1297782922' post='2634419'] -S- Schattenmann, Presbyter, Cult of Justitia This is just one more example of exactly what I Was talking about on the show last week. In what chummy secret IRC channel did anyone from Athens or TIO actually think that a treaty was a good way to show that they are "friends?" They have nothing in common, and as for their FA link IAA, in what world does anyone think that Athens is going to actually defend IAA against the only people that would ever threaten IAA: Athens' other more important allies. Sloppy foreign policy decisions like this one between TIO and Athens are the reason that MDPs have become such [i]jokes[/i], and then are [i]you kidding me [/i]Athens is going to throw a tantrum when the rubber hits the road and reality sets in so TIO cancels? Grow up, what did they think was going to happen? I should write a treaty for all my friends and post one a day for a month. [/quote] Schatt, there was a very valid point in time where this treaty made a lot of sense to TIO, even if it ended up that TIO's FA eventually ended up following a more similar pathway to TIO v1. (this is purely treaty web related)
  6. [quote name='supercoolyellow' timestamp='1297702764' post='2633039'] Oh !#$@ this !@#% I see how it is. If weezy gets one, I should at least get three. [/quote] But your's weren't as truly awesome as this one
  7. [quote name='Dave93' timestamp='1297683370' post='2632859'] Omg someone using an unused AA that you use to have an alliance on!!! What ever are you going to do!?!?! in all seriousness, I wish you luck Weezy, I hope this works out for you. [/quote] EXACTLY THIS! Also Weezy, I hearby present you with the TIO medal for pissing Francesca off: [img]http://wormsarmageddon.team17.com/images/guides/miss_meda.gif[/img]
  8. [quote name='Crymson' timestamp='1297586029' post='2631057'] Oooh, drama!!! [/quote] Don't get your hopes too high
  9. [quote name='Kalasin' timestamp='1297215083' post='2626333'] Lawl. I wanted to keep my identity a secret, seriously. I just sucked at rerolling. TSO and MCXA started harassing me, chasing me around and trying to expose my identity. Of course, I denied everything, but eventually my ex-boyfriend told Athens because of issues in our relationship and I decided to make a private thread on the ODN boards to explain everything. [/quote] Oh I love how you manage to bring me into this Fran, grow up, I've got nothing to do with people hating you. THIS thread is a nice little bit of attention seeking, just like every single other thread you make on these forums.
  10. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Well done to OO for finally realizing what was holding them back..... or have they?
  11. The reps should have simply been monetary and tech reimbursement to AiD and the expulsion of the rogues. It's sad to see such extortion of UINE over this. Props to Polar though for getting the reps down from the ZI of both Keve [b]AND[/b] BigJoe. [rant]I suppose if I'm ever in a position to inflict stupid reps on someone that's done something like this to an ally of mine, I'll be very keen to return the favor. [/rant] :colbert:
